متن کاملEffectiveness of low profile pre contoured clavicular plate in mid shaft clavicular fractures in young patients
Introduction: Risk of Nonunion, residual shoulder disability and symptomatic malunion are higher in conservative treatment of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures which are reportedly decreased by operative method but plating these fractu profile anatomically precontoured plates may reduce the rates of plate prominence and hardware removal. Objective: To assess the rate of plate prominence, ra...
